"Microsoft is right on schedule with this month's Windows Vista CTP. We had to really pull some strings to get this release slightly ahead of schedule, but we managed it and it's our pleasure to bring you our initial analysis of the new build, titled 5231. It's becoming clear that Microsoft is serious about Vista, as it keeps getting better with every CTP release."

Doesn't it cost a whole lot of money to enroll in MSDN? I tried once, I think I have some sort of account with them, but I couldn't find any links to a beta program or something. I'll try looking again today. Would you happen to have a link that could help me out?
